I-76 Night Work Could Snarl Center City Traffic

Interstate 76

PHILADELPHIA, PA — Drivers on westbound Interstate 76 should prepare for overnight slowdowns next week as PennDOT conducts bridge cleaning operations through Center City.

At a Glance:

  • Roads Affected: I-76 (Westbound)
  • Dates: Sunday, March 29, through Friday, April 3
  • Times: 9:00 PM – 5:00 AM
  • Reason: Bridge cleaning

PennDOT said a mobile lane closure will be in place between Arch Street and Spring Garden Street during overnight hours. Work zones will shift along the corridor, potentially causing intermittent slowdowns.

No detour is planned, but drivers should expect reduced travel speeds and possible backups through the work area. Plan extra time for late-night trips and consider alternate routes when possible.
